The TOEFL is still required for non-native English speakers. We only accept test scores directly from testing organizations or affiliate partners. The current TOEFL score expectation is 100 IBT or greater. A TOEFL may be waived by your NMH admission counselor if you have completed your last two years of school in a fully English-based curriculum. Our school code for the TOEFL is 8011. We will also consider the IELTS, EIKEN, or the Duolingo tests.
